  • Keep - this is an easy rescue; they have toured nationally with other bands, and there are lots of good citatons that prove their notability as a band. Bearian (talk) 21:28, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Touring as an opening act would not meet WP:MUSICBIO, since notability is not inherited, and appearances at events such as Burning Man would only meet notability guidelines if the band were a "headline" act on a given day of the festival. However, the longevity of the band as shown by their discography, and their representation by a notable indie label, combine to meet the WP:MUSICBIO test. --Alan the Roving Ambassador (User:N5iln) (talk) 20:34, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect per WP:NotJustYet to Horrid Henry: The Movie, as the one place where this new child actor has any decent verifiability and where readers can read about her in context to her role in that film. Her one sourcable role fails WP:ENT, and what coverage she does have is for her debut appearance in that film.[2] That redirect serves for now for this essentially WP:BLP1E. And in an aside, I am quite surprised at the nominator's poor deletion rationale "could not find anything on google and does not follow the manual of style" as multiple sources for verifiability ARE quite easy to find, and a poor article format is usually preferred to be addressed through regular editing.[3] Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 22:36, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agree with the redirect As said I agree with the redirect and please remember not to bite the newcomers, it was scary enough putting something up for deletion.King Curtis Gooden (talk) 23:54, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    A nomination rationale should hopefully reflect as much policy and guideline diligence as possible, else it might itself be scrutinized. No insult was intended. The word "surprised" was a way of showing my raised eyebrows, nothing more. The redirect serves the project quite well... and that the article was premature was a good catch, after all.

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This page is unnecessary: all it does is redirect enquiries typed in as "Glen Davis" to a proper "Glen Davis (disambiguation)" page.

It does not do anything else (and does not need to do even this: users searching for articles that include "Glen Davis" in the title should be taken directly to the Glen Davis (disambiguation) page instead.

Two additional items:

1) The order of the above used to be the reverse (i.e. the "Glen Davis (disambiguation)" page was redirected to the "Glen Davis" page, which acted as a redundant disamibiguation page); I changed it before proposing this page for deletion.

2) The "Glen Davis (disambiguation)" page contains an entry for tje "Glenn Davis (disambiguation)" page, "Glenn", two "n's", as it should. Neither this necessary link nor the latter page will be affected by the proposed deletion. Wikiuser100 (talk) 22:18, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. First of all this is now a redirect and should've been listed at WP:Rfd not at "articles" for deletion. But formalities aside, copying and pasting content to the (disambiguation) page like you did is not a valid procedure. You should have requested a move over redirect to keep the revision history. That said, Glen Davis has by far the longer revision history of the two and should therefore be kept. It served just fine as a disambiguation (which does not have to be in the page name at all) until your edit. De728631 (talk) 22:29, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Apologies if I am unfamiliar with the nuance between "Delete" and "Move" but your argument is absurd: the page does *nothing*. It's set up as a disambiguation page to do the job of the *actual* "Glen Davis (disambiguation)" page. And what "history" is worth perserving of a *two entry* ersatz disambiguation page? Fine, move the history to the actual "Glen Davis (disambiguation)" page. Just get rid of a page that adds nothing and only serves to clutter up Wikipedia.Wikiuser100 (talk) 22:51, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and revert whatever the nominator has done, as it violates WP:DABNAME and, more importantly WP:CC-BY-SA. This was under the correct title before. Pages only need "(disambiguation)" in their titles if there is a main article under the title, which there is not here. This discussion clutters up Wikipedia more than a page that helps readers find what they are looking for. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:56, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and revert changes. As per Phil Bridger, Glen Davis is the correct location for this disambiguation page, as laid out by WP:DABNAME. All changes should be undone and Glen Davis (disambiguation) reinstated as a redirect. Also I should add that Glenn Davis (disambiguation) is a perfectly valid item for this dab, please see WP:MOSDAB#"See also" section which recommends adding likely misspelling and terms which could be potentially confused.

Having read the context of the citation It appears to be a survey of Latin American internet radio broadcast. The atricle has a single sentence mention in a 131 page thesis.

The result was no consensus. I wasn't sure what to do with this AFD when I first saw it. It took me some searching to come up with a close. I had to discount the first three delete !votes because they arn't based on standard practice. I found a large quantity of "Features of..." articles on Wikipedia so it appears that the communiuty does not consider it advertising on a software where the features themselves are considered notable. Further, per WP:SPLIT, articles that are 50kb or greater should be considered for merge when a subtopic is considered notable. Per WP:SUMMARY, we should include a summary paragraph about the features and move the "See also" link from the top of the Skype article to the bottom. Aside from the policy driven answer, this specific discussion has no consensus. I'll note that two of the merge !votes were not specifically in support of deleting the article. v/r - TP 16:02, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This already exists at List_of_"Occupy"_protest_locations and List_of_North_American_"Occupy"_protests. Since everything involving occupy is contentious lately (see WP:RECENTISM), I am nominating this for AFD instead of CSD A10. v/r - TP 20:16, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - After consideration, I rescind my keep vote, as the "United States" link in the Occupy Navigation bar links to Occupy movement in the United States. The intention here was to create a more concise, easier-to-read list compared to the large list article List of Occupy movement protest locations. However, with the link in the nav bar going to the U.S. page, that's good enough. Removing rescue tag too, as I'm the one whom placed it in the article. Northamerica1000(talk) 08:32, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete If Occupy movements in Canada and/or Mexico are notable (or become notable) then have articles on them. It does not seem to serve any special purpose to lump the 3 nations together. It is not as if the movement spread across the borders. (Will somebody suggest lumping Occupy and Tea Party into one "21st Century American protests" article? That's also possible.) Steve Dufour (talk) 20:41, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Might be worth an "Activism in 2011" type thing. They are pretty different but the roots might be similar enough. Wonder if there are sources out there.--v/r - TP 20:45, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
What I was trying to get at is that articles should be about distinct topics. When you start combining topics there is no end.

I hope Wikipedia allows public voting - I don't have an account here but I am slightly disturbed by this site's continuous policies to delete perfectly legitimate article pages. I'm just a regular gamer, but I like to keep up to date on the grievous botch-ups you editors do on the Wikipedia game pages.

Jeremy Blaustein has worked on some major videogame franchises over the years, such as Castlevania, Silent Hill, Metal Gear Solid, Dragon Quest, and plenty of others. He has rubbed shoulders with the biggest people in the industry. Although he doesn't make games, he is responsible for these games reaching us.

Here is a lengthy article on his life, reprinted on several websites, detailing some of his work: http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/jb/jb.htm

  • Delete No evidence at all of notability. All of the references suffer from at least one of the following problems (and some of them more than one): Dead link; link to search page showing the result No document found for the search "andrea monti" (Nessun documento trovato per la ricerca "andrea monti"); link to page not mentioning Andrea Monti, though mentioning something related to something mentioned in the article; link to a page with only a passing mention of Monti; link to a list in which Monti or one of his works appears; work by rather than about him (or even work by someone else which he has translated); link to an article on Wikipedia. Not a single one of them could by any stretch of the imagination be regarded as significant coverage about him in a reliable source independent of him. A Google search produces www.andreamonti.net, Wikipedia, linkedin, facebook, etc etc. Also, after filtering out Google hits which are about other people of the same name, such as an Argentinian tango dancer, and a newspaper editor, we are left with not a great deal on this Andrea Monti. In short, there is no evidence at all of coming anywhere near satisfying English Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Self-written, and essentially self-promotion.

Hello All, I've checked the issues you mention and I can say that:

  • dead link: correct. The problem lies in the fact that IlSole24's search engine need to be given a time frame to produce results. The link provides only recent results. Is it acceptable to link to single entries?
  • link not mentioning "Monti": this is related to the "Telecom Sismi scandal". The link has been included to let people have information about the issue. No problem in deleting. The link to Paul Ludlow's book is related to support the claim about ALCEI
  • link to page with a passing mention: this link - coming from a daily newspaper - is a supporting evidence for a statement included in the page. Is there an alternative I can follow to fix the problem?
  • link to a list in which Monti or one of his works appears: this is the reference to a scientifc paper. Is there a different way to support the statement? Would it be acceptable to link to the full text?
  • work by rather than about him: I do translate English books into Italian, so - as happens with other bios of people that do things like that - I just mentioned it.
  • the "Mr. Nobody" issue: true, there are a lot of unrelated entry in Google, but this - IMHO - is not a mean to infer that the page should be deleted.

Following your suggestion I tried to edit the page to see if might become acceptable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andreamonti (talk • contribs) 06:05, 8 November 2011 (UTC) [reply]

Classic female blues

Classic female blues (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I've found many tangential references to the genre, but little to nothing that explicitly defines it. Almost every source I've seen just uses "classic" and "female" as adjectives to describe the artist rather than the genre.

Comment Allmusic certainly uses the term at Classic female blues. Apparently Blues for Dummies (1998) uses the term too (see here) - for what that's worth, and a google books search turns up quite a few references (whether that makes a genre is of course debatable). I also notice that Allmusic says 'more accurately "Vaudeville Blues"' and that produced quite a lot of hits, so perhaps we should think about a move. There is also a switch in the historiography here from an emphasis on male acoustic musicians of the '30s, to an emphasis on the formative role of these female singers. This group needs to be covered in detail somewhere, I am just bit unsure at the moment if this is the right place. I will also check my collection of blues books when I have time and before I settle an opinion.--SabreBD (talk) 18:59, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It's a distinct and notable genre, whether it's called classic female blues or vaudeville blues; see Talk:List_of_classic_female_blues_singers for some reliable sources that define the term. Ewulp (talk) 02:44, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Per: [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18]. A notable genre of music, with sources that address the topic directly. Northamerica1000(talk) 11:05, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • All of those sources except #1 just use it as a descriptive phrase ("Classic female blues singers") to describe the SINGER, not the GENRE. Tell me how that's addressing the genre directly. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 23:04, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per arguments of User:Northamerica1000, this has a lot of potential references that could be easily incorperated into this article. – Phoenix B 1of3 (talk) 17:36, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Of course it's rare that any musical genre is described without reference to composers or performers who represent that style. Revisiting this page, we have Oliver and Harrison describing "'Classic' blues" as the work of "urban women singers" who were "seldom recorded self-accompanied and were usually backed by jazz musicians" (geography and style of accompaniment figure into this definition). Stewart-Baxter describes a "hybrid" form containing "elements other than pure blues". Lieb says "the style was marked by a combination of blues and material from black minstrel shows and vaudeville" and that "with the rise of swing music in the thirties, the Classic Blues went out of fashion". Note the word style there—Lieb is describing a style, not a particular singer.
But, for the sake of argument, suppose sources that satisfactorily define classic female blues as a distinct genre were lacking. Can you explain why this failure should lead us to delete Classic female blues? The term, like British Invasion, has been used by many authorities to describe a phenomenon in the music business, and to distinguish a body of work created by certain artists at a certain time. As such, it merits an article. Ewulp (talk) 03:36, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't see how any of the sources identify it as a genre though. If 20 books say "Classic female blues singers x y and z" without elaboration, does that automatically make it a genre? Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 19:06, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Several of the sources provided by Northamerica1000 describe the style, and #1 refers to it as a genre. Here [19] is another source that describes classic/vaudeville blues, and refers to it as a genre. For a more elaborate description, page 104 of the Harvard Dictionary of Music seen here (right column) has this: "In classic blues, a ragtime or stride pianist or a New Orleans style jazz band accompanies a female singer. Designed for formal presentation on stage, a song pursues a coherent theme through stanzas divided into introductory verse and chorus; 12-bar AAB structures provide only one element of the multithematic repertory". It goes on; you can read more at the link. Apart from its identity as a distinct style, the classic blues were the first blues recorded, and created a sensation at the time; until about 1926 classic female blues were the only blues recorded. The historical importance of the subject is well established. Wikipedia would be diminished by the loss of this article. Ewulp (talk) 03:45, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not so sure why female Australian composers should be separated from other Australian composers, though, but it looks like a merge at worst. Lack of sources is a poor rationale for deletion - many of these would be easy to source.--Michig (talk) 20:00, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - promo creation of a not very wiki noteworthy event by a COI user - a minor merge to the parent article should suffice. The detail is already there ( see - Davina Reichman ) but a minor merge perhaps Off2riorob (talk) 18:01, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Based upon talk page research here [20] as well as my own inability to turn up any significant reliable source coverage that was not only promotional material from the lead-up to the event it appears this show is non-notable for Wikipedia. The bulk of coverage I can find is event announcements, and some of the coverage there is not about the show itself, but the brand. Overall it seems to fail WP:GNG.

  • Delete - I voted to keep the first time around, but the lack of any reliable sources for the second show - in particular ones discussing it after the event - changes that. It worried me at the time that there weren't any, and by now there should have been. A merge and redirect to Davina Reichman, per Off2riorob, would make sense. I have no objection to recreating it if secondary sources later turn up for a second or subsequent show. - Bilby (talk) 22:58, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep For the same reasons I mentioned last month when it was at the previous AFD. Look at the press coverage they mention on their site. http://beingbornagain.net/buttons/Press.html Do you doubt any of that is real? Is that not significant coverage in reliable sites? Ample coverage I found last time at http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/nation/designers-put-their-art-into-show/story-e6frg6nf-1225831959837 is still valid. Dream Focus 23:26, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. The source for which you are providing a link was in the article when nominated. As you can see here, it has been removed by another editor. I suspect this is because this source mentioned Emily Fitzgerald, the other founder of the show. You can read here the explanation provided by the other editor. Concerning the sources indicated on the web site of the show, can you point to one significant one which would not be self-published?Racconish Tk 23:47, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Being Born Again Couture, Sydney Morning Herald Style Insert, 22 April 2010. It also had that image and a mention of that section on the front cover of that notable newspaper. They also list various notable magazines. Dream Focus 05:34, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Concerning the SMH, I see here and here a picture with no caption and no mention of the show. Do I miss something? And I don't see in the list another source that is not used and could be considered reliable. In any case, I don't think the threshold of notability is finding another ref for the 2010 show: it would still be a single event, at least in terms of reliable coverage.Racconish Tk 07:26, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The subject's pressbook is not acceptable as a reference in and of itself. It might well lead to citable material, however not everything the subject adds to its scrapbook is automatically substantial (non-trivial), reliable, third-party, notable, or even multiple, etc. Nobody has said the subject fabricated anything, though certain editors here using those articles have, in fact, synthesized improperly from them. It's extremely problematic when an editor here is willing to say "look at all the press the subject gathered about itself," without so much as a cursory confirmation of the contents. It shows a failure to understand why the subject isn't in the best position to report on itself or to decide what's reliable, notable, or even actual coverage. The subject may include ANYTHING IT WANTS, even when it might be objectively questionable. Supporting articles for a subject that is vain enough to scrapbook its own unsubstantial or irrelevant coverage, on the basis of the scrapbook itself, is foolhardy. When the words are right there to check – as in the case of "Art Weaves Its Spell" – and remove all doubt that it's not actually covering the subject, mentioning it here as coverage at all moves away from foolhardy toward dishonest.

      • I don't believe in "buts" – articles are sometimes deleted after AFD and prevented from being recreated due to considerable disputes over content – the Alex Day article had this problem and recreation block applied. When articles reach a high enough level of disruption that it takes too much time to keep dealing with them, and wastes more editors time than is necessary, especially in the case of a trivial Stub such as this, rather than a BLP as long as Justin B. it's not worth the bandwidth – trash and block until someone comes up with a sandbox draft worth considering, simple as that. Also, in this case, Dom and Davina's friends are simply being pig-headed addlepated, as you have seen. Ma®©usBritish [Chat • RFF] 02:51, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        • I believe in pork butt. I am a member of the bacon cabal, co-writer of Bacon explosion, author of the Ham template: please don't insult the little porkers by calling these editors "pig-headed".

Drmies (talk) 04:05, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. 2 of the sources above, The Australian and The Australian Financial Review, were already referenced in the article when brought here. They were clearly not sufficient. A 3rd one, The Sydney Morning Herald, was already suggested by Dream Focus. Neither him nor Northamerica1000 have addressed my concern here above: though this source is indicated on the website of Being Born Again, there is nothing more than a picture, with no indication it is connected with Being Born Again. No text. I have found nothing on the SMH web site. I am not implying an article does not exist, but on the basis of the 2 scans available on the web site of Being Born Again, there is no way to ascertain it deals specifically with our subject. At this point, we don't even know if it is 2 different articles in the same issue or a single one. Northamerica1000 refers here above to an article entitled "Designs On You" Why wearable art has never looked so good.", while in the Ref section of the article, the title is different, "Mobile Canvas, fusing fashion and art". This suggests me he has had no further access to the source than this and that. As is, WP:SYN. Now the 4th source, The Wentworth Courier. The article is written by an intern, which does not plead for its reliability. More important, there is strictly no mention in this article of Being Born Again. It is about a "D&Em fashion label to be launched", which is not even mentioned by the 2 first sources. As is, WP:COATRACK. To summarize: these 2 last sources, not cited inline, do not deal specifically with Being Born Again. Hence, not WP:RS. Furthermore, a key issue, reminded by Orangemike is WP:TOOSOON/WP:UPANDCOMING. All these sources relate - or don't - to the April 2010 event. No reliable coverage yet on what may have happened after. — Racconish Tk 20:47, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I agree that the Wentworth Courier article by intern Cate Broughton is neither particularly reliable nor relevant in any way. It doesn't even mention the subject. In fact, this cite has previously been used in a misleading way in this article to try to show notability (see here). I also agree that two apparent SMH publications on the same day, one of which is apparently a photograph, does not show anything in the way of significant coverage. Because they offer nothing of substance for the prose of the article – they don't support any statements at all – they should be excluded from the article, and from consideration here. There's simply no difference between a blurb and the section it's pointing to; there's also no value in a picture that requires WP:OR or WP:SYNTH to make a noteworthy mention. In short, they're neither reliable (especially for the uses proposed), nor substantial. JFHJr (㊟) 16:45, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Question. How could we consider as an evidence of notability a self-serving quote that announces ... something different? — Racconish Tk 18:56, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fails Wikipedia:Notability (films). A few odd blog posts about this straight to DVD documentary in Estonian and Swedish, but nothing close to sustained, significant coverage from major critics or other sources. Dennis Bratland (talk) 16:19, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Film-related deletion discussions. • Gene93k (talk) 18:08, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Autocar said "...As for the Getaway in Stockholm movies, I'm not quite sure what to make of them". Not exactly a ringing assertion. In Wikipedia:Notability (films) were looking for things like "The film is widely distributed and has received full length reviews by two or more nationally known critics". None of these films were widely distributed, and I don't believe those links you gave are reviews by major critics. So far we've only demonstrated existence. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 01:10, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • The "attributes" you refer to are NOT requirements. They are set in WP:NF to encourage searches for souces, just as "nationally known critics" is a subjective term set to encourage diligent searches, and consideration of theatrical distribution (NOT a mandate) is yet again an "attribute to consider" that is intended to encourage diligent searches for verifiability. Atuocar was offered as a magazine source to refute a claim that this series was covered only in "odd blog posts". I do not have access to the magazine's complete text, but even the snippet view appears indicative that the topic is addressed in more detail than the one sentence you quote. Also NOT being "odd blog posts" are such coverages as the news report by TV2 (Swedish), the article in Dziennik Wschodni (Polish),and the one in Aftonbladet (Swedish) (all speaking toward the topic in some manner), and the article in Dagbladet (Norweigian) which tells us how a simular Getaway in Oslo was inspired by this series. We have enough coverage in non-English sources found in a search,[24] to indicate the topic being worthy one note, even if of folks filming their actions while racing their cars illegally. Notability is dependent upon verifiability, and even the least of sources that offer the mandated WP:V need not themselves be SIGCOV. The terms V and SIGCOV should not be confused with each other, as while related, they mean different things. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 04:17, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • You're posting links to brief news items of 100 to 200 words. Two of the links above are the same text translated into different languages; a press release perhaps? Wikipedia does not include articles about films that have received such paltry attention. There are tens of thousands of such DVDs made every year. The fact that it's straight to DVD should be enough to raise eyebrows, and the lack of major media doing serious reporting is the nail in the coffin. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 15:52, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sure I'm posting links...even to brief news articles... as "someone" mistakenly claimed the only information was in "a few odd blog posts" and such an inadvertant error of statement needed to be addressed, just as User:Cavarrone below addressed the mistaken claim that the film did not receive distribution. WP:SIGCOV does not require that articles dealing with the film must be of some great length, and even 100 or 200 words can be sufficiant to meet WP:GNG if the film is dealt with directly, in detail, and not in a trivial manner. And WP:Notability (films) does not require world-wide distribution for an series of independent, underground films. And I note that the TV2 news report is not trivial in the least. Many projects go straight to DVD and, even if more difficult for them, still sometimes manage to receive enough attention to be seen as worthy of notice. This is an broad-spectrum encyclopedia. We do not restrict inclusion to only English-language topics, and we do not restrict inclusion to only the "most" notable. And that tens of thousands of such DVDs may not meet inclusion criteria is on them, as this discussion is not about those others. We are simply dealing with this one... here... now... per correct application of guideline and policy. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 08:31, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. GBooks hits and GNews hits support the claim of notability. More secondary coverage can be found via Google (like this). About the sentence above that "None of these films were widely distributed", I'm Italian and, for what it counts, I can say that this movie-series has received here a nation-wide promotion and distribution ([[25]]). --Cavarrone (talk) 07:35, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete With due respect to Jayron32 and Phoenix B 1of3, there does not seem to be any significant coverage in reliable sources. Of the sources cited, the only one which even superficially looks like a reliable and independent source is the Finnish one provided by Jayron32, and looking around that web site with the help of Google translation appears to indicate that it is a "pay for inclusion" site. I see no sign of any coverage in independent reliable sources. I don't understand the relevance of saying that references are not inline, since nobody had mentioned lack of cited references as a reason for deletion: both the nominator and the other person arguing above for deletion based their comments on their own searches. Jayron32 also refers to "the awards listed". There are two of these, the Bandbreiten Music Award 2005, and 3rd place in the Austrian Music Award 2009, so I looked into both of those. I can find no evidence that either of them is notable. Both of them are mentioned almost exclusively in personal web pages of its recipients, blog posts, myspace, youtube, facebook etc. Also, over 80% of the Google hits for the Bandbreiten Music Award disappear if we exclude "Dorota Malek" and 2005. That is to say that the overwhelming majority of coverage for this award are on pages promoting Dorota Malek. Apart from those two awards, the list of career achievements in the article is: "support slots" with several other acts, releasing one EP (which I find is available on Napster, iTunes, etc) and one self-produced solo album, appearing once at a festival in Linz, and making a guest appearance on one track by a band which may have some slight notability.

  • Weak keep In July, 2010 the book was listed as a USA Today bestseller, see [26]. I found two good reviews: [27] (National Post, probably not a "professional review", but it was published by a notable newspaper), [28] (School Library Journal). --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 17:11, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
These are really limited in scope, barely more than listings. Danger High voltage! 17:28, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I'm aware of that. The book also placed second in the 2010 Goodreads Choice Award (section 'Young adult fiction') [29]. I don't think it is a totally unnotable book and in my opinion it would be better to keep the information. I admit that this is a borderline case.--Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 17:58, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

An unreferenced article about a Norwegian farm, incorporating a handy list of Danish kings from Gorm the Old onwards and not forgetting Svein Forkbeard and Valdemar the Victorious.

  • Delete with regret. It's a nicely done tourist establishment with several references documenting how the tourist board intends it as a folk museum as well as a campsite, but the mentions of the farm itself in reference works are purely incidental so far as I can determine. The name is treated as a variant on names in Gaut- which are believed to refer to a river prone to flooding. There is one newspaper article about the farm itself reproduced on this page of its website, but it's about building an authentic modern building and the 15th-century precursor of building codes. I see nothing there about the farm itself being of special significance. I'll change to "keep" in a heartbeat if the creator or someone else can find coverage of an archaeological find on the site or any other historic distinction of the farm itself.

  • Can you provide at least one reliable source. I must draw your attention to the word "потписани". It is widely used word in the Serbian language and means "signed". So, if you are searching for the name in cyrillic ("Потписани"), you will get many results. I will now tell you what are the first results on google:
    1. "Потписани" (article on serbian wikipedia which is proposed for deletion);
    2. military of Serbia signed agreement with representatives of religious communities;
    3. Signed agreements on co-financing of five environmental projects;

  2. POTPISANI (www.indexovo.agitprop.rs/potpisan.htm)

A low-budget/no-budget parody project whose 2 episodes were published on few really local televisions (Metropolis TV and Art TV -- "Art TV lost its license..., now it continues as a cable-only station") and minor projections. The "references" are either excerpts from TV schedules, or passing mentions, like this one [30] for "First review of independent off-films of Serbia". The most they had is this TV announcement for Art TV in Politika [31], which admits that "due to lack of funding and professional equipment, only two episodes were shot so far, but [the author] hopes...", and which I cannot find in Politika's archives.

This seems like a vanity article. While it asserts some minor notability (6 books published, wrote for the Guardian), these books do not seem to be especially notable in themselves, having no notable sources discuss them, and a search of the Guardian website ([36],[37]) reveals no articles written by the subject. I believe the subject fails to meet notability guidelines; the subject is not the topic of multiple secondary published sources, and has no other assertions of notability. The main users working on the article was Jradfor1 (talk · contribs), which is - at the very least - suggestive of a conflict of interest, and an IP address which removed the proposed deletion tag and a host of templates highlighting issues with the article ([38]). fish&karate 13:29, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I haven't found anything that would suggest that Radford is notable enough for an article. He doesn't seem to really have anything that pushes him up enough to warrant an article. Just publishing books or writing for someone isn't an automatic ticket to notability, I'm afraid. There also aren't any articles written about him, nor are there really any big vanity/promotional pieces either.

  • Andy Radford is an author who has written 6 books for The Crowood Press. On eof his books is the best selling book in its field. Please feel free to contact Ken Hathaway at The Crowood Press to confirm this. He was a staff writer for a while with Country Smallholding, and his articles written for the guardian were written a long time ago, over 15 years. He is more notible than many of the people who have articles on this site. Please define 'notible person.' I have seen pages on wikipedia for people who have failed at the first audition to shows such as the X factor. Are they considered notible as they have been on television. I have been on television, does this count? If this article is removed it will be a mistake and i will complain. A guide to dry stone walling sold so well it has been reprinted several times and a DVD companion has been made. Reviews of his books have appeared in magazines etc. Hence being talked about in other formes of media. However, if after all these arguments you are still not convinced that the author of 6 books, on the best in it's field, and a dvd companion is not a notible person, remove the article as I say your selection criteria is flaud. — 92.13.60.138 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

    • Comment: Putting out multiple books and a DVD does not automatically give you notability. You have to prove through multiple independent and reliable sources that Radford is a notable author in his field. Being on television doesn't guarantee notability either. There are plenty of people who have been in or made shows that do not meet notability guidelines. You have to prove that he's a bestseller through links that are not put out by the author, his company, or any sort of promotional or vanity links. Even then, being a bestseller doesn't usually guarantee you notability unless it's in a high profile venue such as the NYT Bestseller list. As far as other articles go, odds are that those articles don't warrant an entry on here and if you see any articles that you don't think passes notability guidelines, please feel free to put those up for deletion or bring them to the attention of someone who frequently participates in discussions. Saying "that stuff exists" (WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS) means that Radford deserves an article is not a valid argument. As far as defining notability goes, please check out WP:GNG,WP:BIO, and WP:AUTHOR. They provide an excellent definition of what passes notability guidelines. Please understand that none of this is done to be hostile or ugly, this is just the way wikipedia works. Radford might seem notable to you as an individual (especially if you are closely involved with him or are the author himself), but that doesn't mean that he's notable as far as Wikipedia goes. Believe me, there's a lot of people I think should be on here that don't qualify under notability guidelines but that's just how the system here works and I have to go along with it.

The article fails to address WP:BIO. The four citations in the article at the time of this nomination appear to be mirrors (or at least re-cycled versions of a promotional article) using close paraphrasing of each other, a particular give away is http://shrutijain.co.in/category/the-taj-mahal-palacemumbai which includes "citation needed" in the text. There seems little prospect of finding sufficient impact on the historic record in the near future using reliable sources that are not limited to tangential mentions in what amount to tourist commercials for the hotels.

I had originally used a {{Blp prod}} on this article as all I could find anywhere were mirrors of Wikipedia. But the IP 27.4.131.198 repeatedly removed it. It also violated Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons as it contains much personal information about the subject and his family with no supporting references at all.

Contested speedy deletion. Had been redirected as an apparent copy-paste of existing article, Christian angelic hierarchy but was reverted. Nominated under A10 due to there being an existing article and due to author's admission of copying from that article. Again reverted, possibly by page creator. In summary, the article is a mix of existing articles, primarily Christian angelic hierarchy but also articles on the inner planets of our system and on earth's atmosphere. Such a combination suggests original research (and not very good research, either, considering the confusion between biosphere and atmosphere). The existing article may have room for expansion or even splitting, but there is no need for a separate article such as this. ClaretAsh 10:32, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete -- I regard this as WP:OR. Allusions to the subject in the Bible are scanty. This means that the subject must inevitably be controversial. It contains several citations from the Bible, and one of a concordance. Apart from that there is one website cited. This subject must have been the subject of considerable academic debate among theologians, and I have no doubt that there are a range of differing views on it. If such an article were to exist, it ought to be discussing the views of those theologians, not merely putting forward a single view, as if this was the only one possible.

The article relies almost exclusively on self published sources, and what information is here is of the promotional nature. There are a couple of indepedent sources, but these are not on the actual website, but rather are written on aircraft spotting and/or aviation photography.

The article fails to address WP:WEB. A quick check of the articles about contributors shows most of these to be problematic in terms of notability, though Richard Falk would seem to have a good case. However this confuses the notability of contributing authors with the notability of this news portal and no evidence has been provided apart from inherited notability. This is the third AfD within 2 weeks and the article has been created five times, should it fail AfD I recommend salting until such a time as a draft article is seen to unambiguously address these issues.

  • Speedy delete I don't see any reason to go through an AfD all over again.

This article appears to be original research as I can find no reliable sources that verify NCIS to be part of a "Jag" franchise (Though a few unreliable blogs, forum posts, etc do discuss it as such.)

  • Weak Delete NCIS actually rose out of JAG in the first place as a backdoor pilot in the last season of JAG (specifically the episode Ice Queen (JAG)). Surely this can be sourced somehow, but in this form right now it's not made very clear at all in a morass of bulletpoints, statistics and grid lists. The history in the JAG and NCIS articles actually describe this better than this article right now. Nate • (chatter) 07:44, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • I would contest that a backdoor pilot alone does not make the spinoff part of the same franchise - For example would you consider Mork and Mindy to be part of a Love, American Style franchise? The former being backdoor piloted in Happy Days which was it's self backdoor piloted in the latter. Even searching for sources that consider Mork and Mindy to be part of a "Happy Days Franchise" returns only 8 hits all of which are unreliable, and it's the same here when searching for sources that consider NCIS to be part of a JAG franchise. Yes it started there, but it shares no title similarity, there is no main cast continuity (unlike NCIS & NCIS:LA which share both), there is no similarity in the genre of show, The only franchise I see here is the NCIS one and reliable sources seem to favour that position.

Yet another spinoff page trying to promote a fringe theory. Wikipedia's purpose is to document these theories, not to promote them; if the sources for this "chronology" are the promoters of the fringe theory themselves, it doesn't need its own article - probably does not even merit a mention in the main Oxfordian theory article.

  • Keep. This article was previously nominated for deletion and failed. Since that time the article has been improved even more, with some 60 edits, the majority of which were made to support the mainstream position such as this one [40], and this [41] that added more mainstream RS references. Even this minor edit[42] is an example of editing to address NPOV. As a result of these and scores of other edits, WP:DUE has been even further addressed, as has WP:SYNTH (compare with Chronology of Shakespeare's plays and List of Shakespeare authorship candidates in regards to identical synth issues).

      • Comment. Perhaps you are unaware that almost all the references fail WP:RS. Ogburn's book is even given the wrong title. There is a book called "The Mystery of William Shakespeare", but it's not by Ogburn. I don't know what you mean by "plainly states where doubt exists". This whole chronology is considered nonsense by almost all specialists, so doubt - indeed outright disbelief - exists everywhere. The theory is notable, but this article is inherently POV because it only gives the "Oxfordian" POV, apart from some brief disclaimers and a highly POV portrayal of disagreements within the "mainstream". The article on the theory exists, and gives context with mainstream views. Paul B (talk) 20:22, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This article has no real information except for the Simonton study, which proves it's all fantasy. There is no "Oxfordian chronology" [43] [44], there are only Oxfordians speculating, and this article is a promotional venue to raise the awareness of a fringe theory to the members of the lay public because their strategy is one of using Wikipedia for promotion, not scholarship. Tom Reedy (talk) 13:25, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Tom is correct that there is no such thing as an Oxfordian chronology, apart from the bare fact that the plays have to have been written before 1604, when Oxford died. Any argument that can be used for any particular play can be either be invented or culled from mainstream speculations about dating. Apart for that, there is no "Oxfordian chronology", because there is no methodology or consensus. The founder of the movement believed that Oxford did not even write The Tempest. Other plays are assigned by different writers to any number of dates in Oxford's life. Once you give up on the standard methodology which identifies an unfolding stylistic development linked to wider theatrical trends and events, then essentially you can put plays anywhere, in any order, depending on what aspects of Oxford's life you want to link them to. There is no particular reason why Ogburn junior's views are presented alongside a couple of other writers, but Ogburn senior is not, nor are Allen, Barrell, Ward, and a host of other writers who are arbitrarily ignored. Paul B (talk) 19:48, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Mmm, but wouldn't that be a reason for improving the article with the views of Allen, Barrell, Ward et al, rather than deleting it? Even if the Oxfordian theory is totally wrong, it seems to be notable as documented - remember we're talking about what is written about Shakespeare here, not the ultimate and inaccessible truth about what 'really' happened. Chiswick Chap (talk) 21:25, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
So since the article is nonsense, add more nonsense to improve it? Seems legit. Probably should go ahead and add the chronology for the Sir Thomas More case while we're at it.
Seriously, though, the editors who should be the most concerned about improving it and who should be the best acquainted with the topic are not interested in improving the article beyond promoting Oxford. A review of the editing histories of this and other SAQ-related pages makes that very clear. Tom Reedy (talk) 22:30, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
As Tom says, this would simply mean adding more utter nonsense. Here's an example: Mr and Mrs Ogburn senior in their book This Star of England claim that Othello was "revised" by Oxford in the run-up to the 1588 Armada invasion! He'd apparently written Othello some time earlier, but the revised version "when presented to the public, did far more toward defeating Philip than any man's martial service would have done: for it helped to arouse the English fighting spirit, without which even the great Francis Drake might not have been able to combat the might of Spain." (p522) Even if Othello had been produced around 1588, for which, of course, there is no evidence, this would be a preposterous claim, but the notion that the play was written before 1588 is so far beyond rational literary history that it's impossible to discuss meaningfully. That's just one example, though. If you were to include all these speculations you'd end up with a meaningless jumble of dates for all the plays. That's because there is no coherent methodology. These is no "oxordian chronology". Paul B (talk) 10:36, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I'm beginning to think that if not WP:Patent Nonsense then at least WP:Utter B******s (o.n.o.) may apply to the Oxfordian theory. I've struck out my 'Keep' above. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:45, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I think you were right the first time - we should be "improving the article with the views of Allen, Barrell, Ward". And remember, Ogburn and Anderson, et al, have been published by independent third-party publishers with reputations for fact checking, which is the threshold for RS. There are plenty of ways to improve this article, which, by the way, has had very few specific complaints until now. In fact, both fringe and mainstream editors have both contributed to it with a minimum of controversy.Smatprt (talk) 21:05, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ogburn and Anderson, et al, are fringe promoters and as such are not independent and reliable, which is the threshold for fringe theory articles such as this one. Regardless, the threshold for a separate article is notability, which is a basic standard to avoid indiscriminate inclusion of topics. "The barometer of notability is whether people independent of the topic itself (or of its manufacturer, creator, author, inventor, or vendor) have actually considered the topic notable enough that they have written and published non-trivial works of their own that focus upon it – without incentive, promotion, or other influence by people connected to the topic matter." This article fails that test, as well as WP:NOTADVOCATE. Tom Reedy (talk) 22:03, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Laying out a cross-chronology--comparing the conventional timeline with that of the authorship candidates life (personal and artistic), at the current level of understanding--is helpful/necessary for supporting/understanding any Shakespeare authorship candidate's argument. It shows that Oxford actually had dramatic works under his own name, and that not all works assigned to the Shakespeare canon are regarded by all as part of the whole. Any weaknesses in the article can (and should) be addressed. With advances in understanding and knowledge will come enhancements to this article, and its usefulness/importance will grow in turn. Artaxerxes (talk) 19:25, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that Oxford wrote dramatic works under his own name is already covered in his own article and is completely irrelevant to this timeline. The fact that "not all works assigned to the Shakespeare canon are regarded by all as part of the whole" has absolutely nothing to do with this topic either. It's covered in several articles: Shakespeare's collaborations, Shakespeare attribution studies, Shakespeare Apocrypha. Again, this has nothing to do with the chronology and there is no "current level of understanding". Paul B (talk) 21:32, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Just to clarify, the information in this article is not duplicated in the bio article on Oxford, and is not duplicated in the article on the Oxfordian theory. There is a lot of talk about duplication and I want to be clear about this part of that conversation.Smatprt (talk) 21:13, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Where is all this duplication talk you speak of? Whether the information is available elsewhere on WP is irrelevant; all kinds of useless information cannot be found on WP. I have yet to see an article on the many uses of baling wire, but nobody is claiming that an article like that should be written. If it were it would have the virtue of at least being useful and relevant to the real world. Tom Reedy (talk) 22:08, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The fact that there are theories, fringey as they may be, does not mean that there is a chronology. WP should not present original research of fringe theory; keeping this article presupposes that the supposed alternative chronology exists, that a chronology is agreed on by reliable sources or that a consensus is reached by non-reliable sources. WP cannot pretend such an agreement exists, and keeping the article upholds that fiction. Drmies (talk) 04:17, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments. There is disagreement over the Chronology of Shakespeare's plays, and there is disagreement over the Oxfordian version being discussed here. Both articles present competing viewpoints (although the main Shakespeare chronology disregards most early scholarship on the matter and some notable dissenting viewpoints). In this case, just because there is no wide-spread agreement is no reason to delete the article. Also, there is plenty of information in this article that is NOT repeated in any other article. Comments to the contrary are incorrect on this. The repeated information is there so that NPOV is addressed and readers are clearly aware what the mainstream position is (the repeated bits) and what the minority viewpoint is (the non-repeated bits). As a WP:Fringe topic, views of the adherents are allowed, as long as they are published by independent mainstream publishers etc. That is precisely the case here with Ogburn and Anderson, for example. Smatprt (talk) 20:59, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The scholarly debate over the dating of Shakespeare's plays has the same relation to the Oxfordian chronology as historical revisionism has to historical denial. One is a legitimate scholarly pursuit, the other is a simulacrum of scholasticism in service to a fringe theory. Ogburn and Anderson are not independent reliable sources and are not to be conflated with independent mainstream publishers. Tom Reedy (talk) 22:18, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Please don't reinterpret my words. I said that Ogburn and Anderson are "published by independent mainstream publishers". Of course "they" are not independent - anymore than James Shapiro or Alan Nelson are. They all have a car in this race. RS, when it comes to published material, is about the publisher. Are they independent, third-party publishers with a reputation for fact checking. I would say that Penguin and Bantam Books are both well known independent publishers!Smatprt (talk) 22:39, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Your reliance on the publisher as a determinant of what constitutes a reliable source is misplaced and misleading. WP:RS states that "The word 'source' as used on Wikipedia has three related meanings: the piece of work itself (the article, book), the creator of the work (the writer, journalist), and the publisher of the work (for example The New York Times, Cambridge University Press, etc.). All three can affect reliability." As adherents and promoters of a fringe theory, the works of Ogburn and Anderson disqualify them as reliable sources for this article. Tom Reedy (talk) 23:58, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The complete chronology of the Shakespeare oeuvre, including Chronology of Shakespeare's plays, is sheer speculation -- ongoing speculation -- and there is no incontrovertible evidence for the various chronologies propounded by various scholars; nor does any manuscript exist of any Shakepeare play. We know the date of publication of the compilation which is called the First Folio, which was published 7 years after Will Shaksper of Stratford was dead. We don't know much else except a few contemporary reports of a handful of performances. Therefore, any light shed on the matter is valuable; there is no faulting it for being speculation because all Shakespeare chronologies are by definition speculation. This article offers a chronology which in fact may be as or more logical than many speculations, and offers information valuable to those researching the topic. To delete the article would in my mind be censoring Wikipedia. Since the Chronology of Shakespeare's plays states in the lead that it is only one possible chronology, one or more alternative chronologies, with concommitant reasoning and sources, should be acceptible on Wikipedia as well.

  • Delete The article Chronology of Shakespeare's plays is devoted to what is known about the chronology, according to reliable sources. Any suitably sourced information should be in that article, and there is no need to have a parallel article (WP:POVFORK) giving the situation according to a fringe theory. There is no "Oxfordian" scholarly tradition—the term simply refers to a vague grouping of people who maintain that Oxford wrote the works of Shakespeare: a variety of reasoning is used, with a variety of differing conclusions, so no source can satisfactorily define an "Oxfordian chronology". Johnuniq (talk) 10:36, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete this is a fork to promote a splinter theory. There are of course multiple reliable sources for the chronology, and they are in the main article. Claims that it amounts to "sheer speculation" confuses speculation with hypotheses based on some evidence -- though normally, less than complete security. The statement that there is nothing earlier than the first folio is simply false; there were editions of many of the plays published during his lifetime--indeed his active career. There is only one possible chronology in fact, and literary historians try to approximate it on the basis of evidence. There are not parallel universes in which different people wrote the plays. Censorship has of course nothing to do with it, and amounts to saying "you can't say these views are not important because that is censoring the expression of them". Of course we can and do say the relative importance of different views, and in topics where there is fringe work, we follow the scholarly consensus. The Oxfordian hypothesis is covered without there being multiple articles on it. The relevant policies are FRINGE and RS. DGG ( talk ) 02:52, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The proposer of this deletion and everyone above endorsing it, make compelling cases for deleting this. This is nothing more than some folks in the real world messing with the scholars of the Bard's works. Wikipedia should not be used as a platform backing such things up. This theory deserves only modest coverage in the main articles on Shakespeare, and only coverage that is properly sourced. One of the pages around here said that The New York Times ran a poll that determined that a very high proportion of scholars viewed this as nonsense, and as just a huge waste of time. I'm surprised that this scale of time-wastage is tolerated, here. Alarbus (talk) 05:44, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments on my Keep, above: The related policies and guidelines that were followed in the evolvement of this article are:
  • Addressing the issue of merge or delete - This article is an extended version of this section[45] in Oxfordian theory of Shakespeare authorship, an article which has already been split due to WP:LENGTH and WP:SIZERULE. If this article were deleted, the material would be merged into that parent article, which is already at 65kb and growing (current editors have announced intentions to add more mainstream rebuttals to the article). Besides, this article, at over 20kb, but needing work (add'l space), is notable on its own right (see 4th bullet).
  • Based on WP:SUM, the summary of this article is at the parent article [[46]];
  • In order to comply with WP:NPOV and WP:DUE, the lead clearly states the mainstream position in no uncertain terms, Also, please note the weight of the mainstream position in this overview section [[47], which was included in order to avoid any POV fork issues. Also the lead clearly states Mainstream Shakespearean scholars, Ward Elliott and Robert Valenza[48], Dean Keith Simonton and Sidney Thomas, who are quoted or referenced in criticizing the Oxfordian View. Finally, in furtherance of NPOV goals, the links to 2 mainstream websites which are severely critical of the Oxfordian Theory and th Oxfordian Chronology are also included in the article.
  • Finally, in terms of WP:NOTABLE, this specific issue (Oxfordian Chronology) is discussed in RS sources including those by mainstream Shakespearean scholars James Shapiro, Ward Elliott and Robert Valenza[49] and Dean Kieth Simonton[50], by mainsream authorship debunker David Kathman [51], and by RS mainstream news sources including the New York Times[52], and Atlantic Monthly[53], among others. Smatprt (talk) 03:25, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • There are not two parallel universes with Chronology of Shakespeare's plays valid in one, and a different reality—the Oxfordian reality—in the other. Wikipedia has a name for a situation where an article is written to present the fringe view: it is a POV fork and is "inconsistent with Wikipedia policies".

Discussion #1 closed as no consensus, in part because it was coupled with an article that was deemed to be of differing quality than it. I'm decoupling Ashland from Eugene, and renominating, on the basis that no consensus can mean push to a new AFD Purplebackpack89≈≈≈≈ 02:27, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, the original deletion rationale was:

WP:NOTNEWS, there is nothing notable about this compared to the hundereds of other "Occupy" protest. If it doesn't have national or at least regional news and only has local news, it isn't notable enough for a page.

And the original closing rationale was:

There does appear to be a consensus to keep these, but there's also a number of comments that mention redirecting and merging, apart from the delete votes. Given this and the fact these two probably shouldn't have been bundled together, closing as No Consensus

Purplebackpack89≈≈≈≈ 02:30, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy close. You nominated this again less than two hours after the previous discussion closed. Why would you possibly think that renominating was a good idea? WP:KEEPLISTINGTILLITGETSDELETED is not a strategy that it's recommended we should use. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 04:01, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • It was perfectly appropriate to renominate it. Did you even bother to read my rationale? For starters, the guideline you cite applies almost exclusively to articles where the outcome was "keep". It is perfectly acceptable to renominate something that is closed as no consensus; loads of AFDs with no consensus are just automatically relisted for another week. In fact, a close read of WP:KEEPLISTINGTILLITGETSDELETED would note that your Speedy Keep looks surprisingly like the "Article survived previous AFD and should not have to be subjected to this rubbish again" that is suggested be avoided in the guideline you cite. This would suggest that it is you who is violating said guideline. Furthermore, most of the reason that the 1st nomination was closed was on procedural grounds that requested that Ashland be decoupled from Eugene, which was also nominated in the first AFD. So this is really a much different AFD than previously. And finally, I left a note to the original closer asking if what I did was right, and he hasn't said that it was wrong yet Purplebackpack89≈≈≈≈ 05:03, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Highly annoying reopening of this, given the AP wire report of Occupy Ashland which emerged between the time the first challenge was made and the time it was closed. I've spent lots of time saying the same thing again and again: one more time. It is not yet time to decide what is free-standing, what needs to be merged, and what might be deleted on any of these Occupy things. Chopping now risks losing info in the event that things need to be recreated. There is clear evidence that the Occupy pieces are newsworthy in their major urban incarnations and will be — at a minimum — the object of state-level mergers into combined articles beyond that. Is Occupy Ashland a free-standing KEEP or a merge target into a still-uncreated article? It is too early to tell. What is painfully obvious already is that this is not something which should be deleted outright. I've cited publication and page for the wire report in the previous, just-closed nomination. Now please, can we just avert our eyes from these Occupy pieces and trust that it will all work out for the best in the end? Carrite (talk) 06:42, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"Highly annoying"? Can you point to how reopening a discussion that was closed as no consensus violates policy in any way? Purplebackpack89≈≈≈≈ 14:21, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I don't allege any violation of policy; certainly it is WITHIN POLICY to open up a "no consensus" article for reexamination. However, it is completely tone deaf to rush to do so in this case and that is really ANNOYING. Carrite (talk) 15:57, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • comment—Maybe this should have been taken to DRV instead of reopening. Not because reopening is against policy, obviously it's not, but because this is just going to force everyone who participated in the last deletion discussion to repeat their arguments here (I didn't participate in it). I was reading over the previous discussion in preparation for commenting here, and it occurred to me that a close of "no consensus" is different from a relisting. Closing as no consensus maybe says that the closing admin thinks that no consensus is going to be reached, whereas relisting says that a consensus might still be reached. If the nominator thinks that a consensus can be reached now when it couldn't before, that's essentially saying that the first AFD was improperly closed, and so this should be at deletion review, not here again.— alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 16:52, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The subject of the article seems to have three possible sources of notability:
  1. Founder of fanflux.com - The only ref provided is a link to the site. "Fanflux" nets zero Gnews hits. General Ghits are primary, social media sites, or trivial.
  2. Modeling career - References offered are an indeterminate blog with a couple of vids and pics, a blog that "was created by Marie-Ève Côté in 2010 to enable existing artist and new artists to get noticed" containing what appears to be a straight reprint of his press sheet and a link to a youtube video plus another link to the same blog, this time of a picture of subject in a t-shirt; and there's a primary link to an apparently non-notable modeling agency, saying that they're working with him. Gnews and Ghits in general offer nothing better to evidence notability.
  3. Music career - Article provides a couple of refs: this profile for a site covering the Anjou and Mercier neighborhoods of Montreal, his hometown (he's an Anjou lad). The article is a recap of who he is and then a brief section, literally entitled (in English translation) "A promising future". An interview on what appears to be PR site of some sort--certainly nothing WP:RS. An artist-provided artist profile on a Japanese music festival site. A bio on a marketing site that is "much more than a web media site. It’s a venue where artists both locally and internationally will turn to launch their careers." And lastly, he's on staff at some sort of high school battle-of-the-bands presenting organization. Unreferenced in the article but apparently solid is his connection with Karl Wolf, as he is credited as drummer on one of the latter's albums. Gnews and Geverything searches don't find anything better, for notability purposes.
The article and the available sources paint a picture of a young, energetic, attractive working musician who has not yet achieved encyclopedia-level notability on musical or broader WP:ENT grounds. He may yet do so, in which case a WP article will be welcome. But solidly fails WP:GNG for right now. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 03:00, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Karen A. Selz is a pioneer in the applications of the ergodic (measure) theory of dynamical systems to brain processes with publication in front line journals since 1989-1990. Representative examples are well referenced on the page being discussed for deletion. She has also applied these strategies to develop algorithmic schemes for neuropeptide design and currently holds 95 patents on each of unique, brain active peptides. The major articles in this research program are well referenced on the page being discussed. She is frequently an invited participant in edited books in her field and meeting presentations. She has organized and for 15 years directed the activities of Cielo Institute (www.cieloinstitute.org)involving a wide variety of participating scientists working in several fields. She recently demonstrated for the first time (PLos Computational Biology, 2011) that human neurtraphils (white cells) demonstrated measure supported first order phase transitions in "shape."
I am confused that so little specifically relevant issues are not understood or discussed by the "deleters". Is this the "wikipedian" uninformed authoritarianism that I have been recently hearing about?? Don't the "deleters" spend anytime really researching the literature relevant to the person being considered? She has been on the frontier of the new biological sciences involving nonlinear dynamical systems for almost 25 years. She developed an entirely new way to design functional peptides for the brain. Her current project in human single cell behavior creates a "single cell mathematical behavior" area which she is currently working in. This is a great and productive American woman scientist.
Her "novelistic" work is a hobby and shouldn't be held against her. Who ever it was that thought her whole remarkable career was a cheap trick to advertise one of these hobby books should be significantly chagrined.It was both uninformed and insulting. These arguements are supported by the list of top journal references included on the page being considered for deletion. Look at the institute she created, www.cieloinstitute.org. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ajmandell (talk • contribs) 19:47, 7 November 2011 (UTC) — Ajmandell (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
To be clear, no one was trying to hold her novelistic hobby against her, it just seems in the context of an encyclopedia article to be an irrelevant detail which certainly does not contribute to the subject's notability. Further that institute which she founded is hardly a sign of notability as the institute itself is not particularly notable (does not have an article, does not turn up significant results in Google News searches, etc.) Themanfromscene24 (talk) 17:19, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Having reread the guidlines for deletion, I do not believe that these are met. I do believe that the article will benefit from a revision, including better formatting and the inclusion of Dr. Selz's patents. I will make these revisions. comment added by wikiwaki8 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:07, 7 November 2011 (UTC). — wikiwaki8 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Although there are some papers with reasonably high cites, the corresponding author on those seems to predominantly be Arnold J. Mandell. I would suggest that no further WP:SPAs weigh-in here because this sort of thing quickly sours the mood of other eds you hope to win-over, especially because the article itself was created by a SPA account and because there is already some level of special pleading for accomplishments that are outside of WP:PROF (e.g. specific research results or organizing meetings).

  • Delete - And I'm usually the #1 defender of keeping new bio articles for new Disney Channel stars, but (aside from a few Disney press releases listing the cast of Jessie) I can only find a couple reliable sources mentioning him working as a model a few years ago. Not a single interview with him to provide even the most basic info, such as date/place of birth, etc., so a "bio" here is really premature. What little info was included in the creation of his page here is already listed (more concisely, without spelling/punctuation errors, etc) on IMDb. We all know that by this time next year, he'll most likely be considered "notable" enough to start a page, but right now, he's not even one of the "leading" actors on Jessie, he's "recurring" and has not appeared in most episodes of the show so far. It's nothing personal - but Wikipedia's notability guidelines are pretty clear - If he was part of the "main" cast or if there was even one reliable source providing some basic info like a birthday, how he got into acting/modeling, etc, then I could argue to keep it, but when even I can't make a case to keep an article - that's a sure sign that the page is dead in the water. I suggest any pages that mention him can be blue-linked to his IMDb page until we have something about him besides a Filmography. I personally use date of birth as a jumping off point. If you don't even have a DOB, you don't have the first building block to a bio page IMO, with extremely rare exceptions, such as when an aging actress is obviously deliberately hiding her age (and in the case of an extremely young/good-looking actor/model, that's obviously not the case). --- Crakkerjakk (talk) 02:46, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Author of a number of books that do not meet WP:NB criteria. Article does not meet WP:BLP criteria, as the only source used fails WP:RS rules quite spectacularly. Quick search on Google News finds no recent articles about this author. Publisher of recent works seems to focus mostly on ebooks and may be a vanity press, though I am uncertain. While small, minor sites seem to mention this person occasionally, I am not seeing anything that would come close to demonstrating notability for inclusion in an encyclopedia, and article was created by editor with clear COI. Previous deletion discussion was many years back, before we had more stable criteria for determining inclusion, and was closed due to no consensus. DreamGuy (talk) 00:25, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I'm in the process of searching for sources, so I'm not going to say anything just yet, but I just wanted to state that Ellora's Cave is an actual publisher. It's a very small independent publisher that deals mostly in ebooks, but it isn't a vanity or self-publish type of setup and is relatively well known in the romance world. That being said, being published does not automatically give you notability and I'm having a hard time trying to find anything to justify keeping her article on here. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 05:46, 7 November 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]
  • Delete. I searched pretty hard for anything that could justify keeping Boyett-Compo on here, but it seems that she's on the very cusp of what Wikipedia would consider to be notable. She has a lot of ghits, but not of anything that would be considered reliable sources. (Ghits aren't enough to justify notability, after all.) She's been nominated for awards but hasn't won anything big just yet and most of the awards are sort of "minor" as far as wikipedia guidelines go. [57], [58], [59] Nor has any of her books hit the NYT or any of the big bestseller listings. The only thing that would potentially give her enough to stay is if I knew what type of profile she got in the Writer's Digest Publishing Success entry, although it sounds sort of like it was more of a brief entry where she was mentioned along with other authors. I can't find the actual article- the only mentions of it refer back to sites the author has put this info on. At this moment she just isn't notable enough to warrant an article. She might be in the future but then she might not be and keeping the article on the idea that she might be is a WP:CRYSTAL no-no. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 06:01, 7 November 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]

If this is deleted then the powers that be might want to consider blocking Windlegends since they've already added an entry that was previously deleted for being promotional in nature and their whole purpose for being is to add mentions of CBC to various articles.

  • Delete per Tokyogirl79. I had a look through a couple of book-trade databases myself as well, and came up with nothing that would pass WP:AUTHOR. Yunshui 雲水 08:54, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
